FROM WASHINGTON.
The Medical Congress Settles Down to
Work.
BY THE PRESIDENT
Mrs. Cleveland Politely Declines the
Official Invitation to Visit
New York.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-President
Davis called the International Medical
congress to order at II clock this morn
ing and introduced DR.. Austin Flint,
LII. D., Of New York, who proceeded to
read his paper on Clever, it's Causes,
Mechanism and Rational Treatment"
His paper was largely of technical
character. and was listened to with pro-
found interest by the large audience of
doctors present. President Davis an
nounced in the meeting that the amount
of work in the various sections was such
i that it was found desirable that they
should hold sessions for two hours in
Tthe morning and three hours in the
afternoon. For this reason it would
: probably be more satisfactory to all par
ties if the address of Prof. Semmola, as
signed for delivery to-day, be postponed
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and
that hereafter but one address would be
delivered in the day. He would there
,lfOre announce that session adjourned
until tomorrow.
Another case of friction growing out
1of misunderstanding of the facts has
occurred. One of the Irish physicians,
DR.. Murphy, Of Dublin, has written
letter withdrawing from the congress
( because he felt affrOnted at not being
fI1VlGeu W Tile banquet OIL medical 6QlCOrS
last night. A letter has been sent to the
doctor stating that the banquet was not
given under the auspices of the con-
,greSs, but of some of the individual
delegates to it and that consequently the
congress had no voice in the}matter. He
is asked under the circumstances 40 re-
consider his action.
The reception tonight at the execu-
tive mansion, given in honor of the
members of the medical congress, was
eminently successful. Between 5000
and 5000 medical men and their families
were greeted by the president and Mrs.
Cleveland from s to 10 O'clock. The
president and Mrs. Cleveland, who
looked very handsome in silken palm
green gown, shook hands warmly with
all the medicas, their wives and daugh-
tiers. But small proportion of the
visitors appeared in evening dress, the
preliminary announcement Stating that
the reception was informal,

AMERICAN HERoIsNI.

1t has been decided at the re-
union of MEADE's Army of the Potomac
and LEES Army of Northern Virginia,
at Gettysburg, next year, to dedicate
monument to commemorate American
heroism and national reconciliation.
The proposed monument is to be erected
in conformity with resolution adopted
last July, at a reunion of the Philadel-
phia brigade and PIoKETT'S division
upon the battlefield of Gettysburg. A
committee consisting of ffty-siX veter-
ans from the above named organiza-
tons has been selected to prepare the
monument and to arrange for the dedi-
cation services. Gems. w. 7. SHERMAN
and JOSEPH e. JOHNSTON and Gen.
BEAVER, of Pennsylvania, will have
supervision of the affair. The idea of
erecting monument to american
Heroism" is a beautiful one, and the
suggestion must meet a response of
approval from every patriot. There is
no more fitting spot ON American soil
for such monument than Gettysburg.

Special to the Globe.
DIES MONIES, To-, Sept. 6.-The
Iowa State Farmers alliance began a
two days session in the state fair
grounds at 10 o'clock to-day. The sec
retary's report showed that about $40
alliances have been chartered, over 800
of them during the past year. Presi
dent Kennedy in taking the chair con-
graduated the organization on its rapid
growth and the great influence the order
is de stined to yield in the future in
shaping the policy of political parties,
and as social factor in bringing the
farmers together for consultation in re-
gard to their own interest. The COM
mittee on credentials made partial re-
port which showed ITO delegates from
forty counties present. l Q. Werts, of
Ashley, of Warren, D. c. Woods, of
Hamilton, A. L. Stuntz, of Strong. W.
W. Fields, of Sac, and Thomas McNutt,
of Muscatine, were appointed COM
mittee on resolutions. Elwood Tatum,

pointed committee to revise the con-
stitution and bylaws. These commit
tees will submit their reports at to-mor-
rows session. The afternoon was
chiefly taken up with short addresses
and reports from county alliances.
From these reports it was learned that
the organization was very strong in
Hamilton, Story, Hardin, Cherokee,
Crawford, Sac, Ida, Shelby, Clark,
Marion, Warren, Madison, Palo Alto,
Polk and Wright counties. Eric Mel
son, secretary of the Minnesota State
alliance, was present, and treated the

The Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The Republi-
can tomorrow will say: The president,
eX-Speaker Randall and Speaker Car
Isle had a conference at Oakview this
afternoon. The discussion related prin-
cipally to the tariff bill, which has prac-
tically received the Endorsement of the
administration, the outline of
which measure contemplates the
abolition of the tobacco and
fruit brandy tax, a reduction
of the customs, duties and larger addi-
tions to the free list. This measure has
been referred to Secretary Fairchild,
who was suddenly summoned here by
telegraph by the president, and who
will prepare an estimate of the reduc-
ton which the proposed bill will affect
in the revenues of the country. No con-
cluSion was reached, but the matter was
left for another conference to be held in

Over 1000 cases of scarlet fever are
reported in London, and the disease is

rapidly that many victims are deprived

ton. The hospitals are crowded to their
utmost capacity, and the problem what
to do with the sufferers who are con-

ing one.

D. ]. Woodson, a burly negro as black
as the ace of spades, who has been
working as porter at Leip's hotel,
White Bear lake, bought a
marriage license Monday to wed
Jennie Jackson, pretty white servant
girl of twenty, also employed at the
hotel. The two went before local
minister at White Bear yesterday after
noon expecting to have marriage
service performed. but the minister
refused to do it on the ground that they
were not naturally fitted for each other.
Last night WoOdson was met by a
gang of eight white men living at the
lake, and, after little rough handling,
was run out of the town. He walked
all the way to st. Paul and told his
story to the police. He swears he will
marry his sweetheart anyhow.

MITsCH KNOCKED OUT.
The st. Paul Delegate Fails to
Carry His Point.


CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The resolution
denouncing the Knights of Labor was
to-day reported back unfavorably to the
convention of the German Roman Cath
Ollie Central union. The committee to
which the matter was referred gave as
a reason that the time was not oppor-
tune for any such resolution. Rev.
John Meyer, of Winona, Mimi, arose
and advised the delegates not
to say anything about the
been misrepresented. There had
been accounts of their proceedings yes
terday published in the English press
this morning that would make ones hair
stand on end. Mr.. MitSch, of st.
Paul, the originator of the Knights of
Labor resolution, opposed the report
of the committee. He said he had
heard addresses of socialists at
Knights of Labor meeting in New York
and he thought Catholic workingmen
should be protected from such dangerous
influences. Hed did not care whether the
time was OppOrtune OF not. If his ideas
were right, they should be adopted. In
moment there were number of dele
gates on their feet, all anxious to
advise the convention to keep hands
off. Then brief but intense
silence ensued. Rev. DR.. Tappert
begged the convention to let the subject
alone, as it did not belong
to their subject. A st. Paul del
egate said that local societies
might exclude Knights of Labor, but the
central union ought not to NEEDLE with
the affair. After some further
talk, Delegate Mueller, of
Cleveland, moved to cut off
debate, which was carried. The report
of the committee killing the obnoxious
resolution was then adopted unan-
imously. The meeting at night was
largely attended.

FIRE PROTECTION.

Are st. Paul's hotels, tenement houses,
lodging houses and factories adequately
furnished with means of easy egress i'm
case of fire, and are they provided with
all possible precautions against fire?
That is question which is given
point by the fact that the burning of a
tenement house in New York, with the
loss OF numerous lives, indicates that the
season is again near at hand when the
necessity for thorough heating will
render the danger from fire imminent
and particularly so in Minnesota where
the cold being intense, vigorous fires
must be maintained. Before the cold
weather does set in there should he a
most thorough investigation made of
every large building in the city. Where
danger from fire exists proper safeguards
should be insisted upon, and there is
time enough before the winter sets in tn
enable the inspection to be compre-
hensive and the compliance with any d.
rections that may be found necessary
possible.

Dawes, both of the First regiment, and
company H., of Watertown, under Capt.
Hills, of the Second regiment, were the
only three companies entering the con-
test for the Polack cup. Each company
in its turn drilled well, and

The Afghan Question.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 6.-The fol-
lowing semi-official statement is made
public: The flight of Ayoub Khan does
not alter the relations existing between
Russia and Afghanistan. The Russian
government had nothing to do with
Ayoub's fight and does not feel called
upon to concern itself with internal
complications. 1t is not likely that
Ayoub's escape will cause fresh diff
culties between England and Russia,

thing the Russo-Afghan frontiers, hay
ing adopted solid basis partly guided
The arrangement is a durable one and
was established in such manner that
there remains no trace of dissatisfac-
ton nor preteXt for Interior claims on
either side. No casual incident like the
flight of AyOub can revive the differ
ence which the two powers desired to
settle once for all.

"Reminiscences keep arriving from all

The bill is still in the hands of the special
committee of the house. A bill was intro
duced in the house to appropriate $4,000
for the codiication of the statutes under
the direction of the Montana Bar asso-
citation. The efforts made to revise the
insane asylum bill were futile. The
present contractors, who have grown
rich by contracts for number of years,
have too many friends in the legisla-
ture. The bounty bill for killing wild
animals passed the house, fixing the
bounty on ground squirrels and prairie
dogs at cents.
